Hi,
I'm new to playing mage characters in shadowrun. I am currently designing
a mage cat burglar. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for the types
of spells this type of mage should have?

Thanks,
Smoke

Levitate
Invisibility (improved)
Telekinesis
Float

and other stuff like that. And if a spell doesn't exist you can
always invent one :) You could also try to genetically combine
yourself with a spider :)

Improved Invisibility and Silence at the very least. Also some kind of
night vision spell (what do you know, there's one by that name in
Awakenings! :) if you want to be able to cast spells in darkness, and
Gecko Crawl. You might also want to design a spell that opens normal
locks.

As a cat burglar mage there is one spell you just can't be without ..
SLEEP!

Another one would be a spell that mimic the physical adept power of Traceless
Walk, this way you would not set off any floor pressure sensors. Another
good spell would be Magic Fingers, Seal, Unlock (reverse of Seal).

One spell which you should have is:-

SHAPE EARTH

The spell which has anonoyed GM's to no end.

This spell enables you to shape nearly any solid object to allow you to
retreive an object or move through an untraceable hole. The best part
about this spell is that once you stop concentrating on this spell all
the materials that you have moved proceed to form into their original shape.

Having played in the same campaign as Phantom, I can agree. Eg: After
the GM described the room to us as beeing a round chamber, with many
crisscrossing sensor (and two-step,probably) lasers visible in our
sights - ie impossible to get the gem off the pedestal in the middle
like we were meant to

Me: I;'ll use Magic Fingers to get the jewel GM: You can't, there's a
glass case. Phantom's Character: Fine, I"ll just Shape Earth the case
out of the way.

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensued on the GM's part, when he
discovered it was perfectly rules-legal.
